Going Downhill

 You know, there's a feeling when you know

That you are going downhill.

I seem to have that feeling,

Ever since I got myself 

Absorbed in drinking and puffs and smoking.

I always knew I deserved better,

I still believe it.

BUT, and this is the keyword;

Life turned out to be different,

And my aims have significantly changed.

Never did I imagine I would think like Godfather 

When I read it;

'Always keep two links of safety in your crime'

Godfather taught us:

Now I want to follow it.

Is this how really life works?

Will this poem be used against me in the trial?

These are some questions I ask myself.

Am I happy where I am?

Would I be happy once it's done?
